Pottery and Porcelain How shall I know pottery from porcelain is a question They may be distinguished the following very simple test J you hold your piece up to the light and can see through it that is if it is translucent it is Pottery is opaque and is not so hard and white as Tho main differences in the man ufacture of stoneware earthen ware and porcelain are due to the ingredients used to the way in which they arc mixed and the degree of heat to which they are sub jected in firing Most of the old English wares found in this country arc pottery or semichina although the term china is commonly applied to them all The potteries in Staf fordshire covering an area ten miles long were the most important in England These pottery wares were sold at ridiculously low prices when they were first made and I he price has risen little little until it has become quite preposterous It must he distinctly borne in mind however that it is the historic crockery only which is so valuable decorated with scenes relating to our own early his tory or to our heroes and with but few exceptions made in rich dark blue With reference to a particular ware people often say that they own Wedgwood I always ask Is it marked You may set it down as a rule that all real Wedgwood that is Old Wedgwood is marked with his name It was trial pieces only and such as escaped the workmans notice that left the pottery unmark ed There are peculiarities about this marking too which must he noted The name in small is always clearly and carefully mark ed whether Impressed or printed in color From The
